Worley Bugger Fly Co., headquartered in Ellensburg, Washington, is the Yakima River's first, full service professional fly fishing shop and guide service.

Fish the Yakima River

Come relax with Worley Bugger for the day on an all-inclusive fly fishing tour on the Yakima River; Washington's premier wild trout fishery.

The Yakima River supports hundreds of wild, naturally spawning fish and provides fly fishermen from around the world a unique and exciting year-round experience catching and releasing wild trout on a fly. This fabulous blue ribbon water offers the fly fishing enthusiast a thriving rainbow and cutthroat trout population. Experience a match-the-hatch aquatic insect event as mayflies, caddis flies, and stoneflies emerge throughout the season. Absorb some of Washington State's most spectacular scenery and encounter a variety of wild game, wild birds, and plant species along the river banks during the day.

Fly fishing tours are appropriate for all skill levels. Come enjoy the beautiful scenery, great conversation, and a riverside lunch with one of Worley Bugger's elite guides. This team is sought after season after season for their knowledge, patience, and expertise in the fine art of fly fishing. Come immerse yourself in a day of fly fishing, then return to the comforts of Cave B Inn & Spa.

Fish the Sand Lakes

The Sand Lakes is a private 1,600 acre still-water reserve located only 15 minutes by car from Cave B Inn & Spa. On this distinct private setting lie six different and unique seep lakes. The inhabitants of these lakes include largemouth bass, bluegill, carp, perch and sunfish. These lakes will put your fly fishing skills to the test, especially in the early stages of spring when water temperatures can swing several degrees during a 24 hour period.

The spring months of April, May and June are target times for catching big largemouth bass during the spawning sessions. Don't miss a chance to fish these lakes during these three key months.

Round-trip transportation from Cave B Inn & Spa is provided for Sand Lakes fishing tour guests. For tour prices and more information, please call the activities desk: (509) 785-2283 or Worley Bugger directly at (888) 950-FISH or (509) 962-2033

*All fishing trips on the river will require a Washington state fishing license, which needs to be provided along with a reservation.

Fly Casting Lesson

Join fly fishing pros from Worley Bugger Fly Co. at the winery pond for an informative and entertaining lesson in the fine art of fly casting. This class features basic, beginning, or entry level fly casting oriented toward getting one proficient enough to fly fish for trout or other similar fish, with the emphasis on getting the fly rod to do most of the work for you and obtaining and sustaining fly line speed.

Vineyard Tour

Spend an hour touring the Cave B vineyards learning about the characteristics and varietal history of Cave B wines. The tour will end at the Cave B Winery where our friendly staff will lead you through a tasting of our award winning wines.

Water Aerobics

Join us in the pool for a great cardio workout without the impact of working out on land. In addition to the standard benefits of any exercise, the use of water in water aerobics supports the body and reduces the risk of muscle or joint injury. You do not have to be a strong swimmer to participate in water aerobics; it’s a fun and invigorating way to start the morning!

Hiking

Our trail system will guide you gently around our property or take you down through the gorge to the banks of the mighty Columbia River with a side trip to a lovely waterfall. You can either sign up for a guided hike with one of our hiking guides or grab a map and the essentials and set out on your own. Our hiking guides can set you off on the perfect hike for you!

Guided Columbia River Hike
Take a walk on the wild side… lace up those walking shoes and let one of our property hiking guides lead you on a hike down to the Columbia River! Enjoy striking views of the high desert and rolling river while learning about the unique and diverse flora and fauna native to the area. The hike is 3.5 miles round trip and features a short side trip to a hidden waterfall, a lush oasis in the high desert where birds and other wildlife gather.

Self-Guided River & Waterfall Trail Hikes
Grab our hiking trail map, our guide to the area’s birds and plant life, your own water bottle and sunscreen, and head down into the gorge hiking at your own pace.
